Chapter 653 The male protagonist begs for soft food (13)
"Dad, what did you and Qingcheng mysteriously talk about?"
Zhou Zihao was quite curious.
He always believed that he and Gu Qingcheng were of the same age.
Even if Gu Qingcheng is more handsome, studies better, and looks more stable, he is still his classmate and roommate.
But, that day, Gu Qingcheng came to "deliver the betrothal gift" and talked with Zhou's father for a long time in the study. After coming out, Zhou's father's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Qingcheng.
It is no longer like the elders looking at the younger ones, but it is like the interaction between peers.
It's not that Gu Qingcheng has been promoted, but he must have done something to make his father look at him differently.
Father Zhou glanced at his silly son and said with a hint of approval, "My boy seems to be out of tune, but he gave Zi Qin a good impression!"
In fact, Gu Qingcheng didn't give too much of a gift.
She gave Father Zhou a stack of information on the smelting methods of rare earth iron steel.
It happened that Zhou's father's second brother and Zhou Ziqin's second uncle worked in a military factory.
That information can help Uncle Zhou just in time.
However, that does not deny the most important thing, and the most important thing does not deny Qingcheng's clear understanding of the relationship between the country of E and the Celestial Empire.
I want to know if the two countries in the East are brothers, as they have a very close relationship with each other.
When the Eastern Empire is in dire straits and waiting for improvement, it will not be able to develop as quickly as possible, let alone imitate the products of Goose Country across the board.
However, Gu Qingcheng came up with a method for smelting rare earth special steel and insisted on independent research and development.
Zhou's father remained calm and asked Gu Qingcheng: "Why? They obviously have the support of brothers and countries——"
Why not go through the trouble yourself when you can take shortcuts?
Gu Qingcheng borrowed the leader's famous saying: "Father has it, mother has it, it's better to have it yourself."
You should hold your destiny in your own hands, not leave it to them.
If you don't rely too much on them, you run the risk of being choked.
Compared with that information, Gu Qingcheng's sobriety is more important to Gu's father.
Of course, this does not mean that the information will not be requested again.
It can help Uncle Zhou, and even the entire Zhou family, determine their status in the military industry.
"That kid in Qingcheng is great! From now on, he will become a member of our Zhou family!"
Zhou's father completely recognized Gu Qingcheng and did not regard him as a soft-hearted little girl.
Rather than being the noble son-in-law of the Zhou family.
Outsiders didn't know about the affair, but Zhou's father's attitude determined Gu Qingcheng's status in the Zhou family.
Her wedding to Zhou Ziqin was particularly grand.
Not to mention how extravagant and wasteful it is, but the Zhou family attaches great importance to it.
From the guests, to the banquet, to the wedding scene, the attitude of the Zhou family is evident.
Although outsiders don't know why the Hongzhou family likes Gu Qingcheng, a poor boy from the countryside.
However, the Zhou family valued it, and relatives and friends followed suit and carried the sedan chair.
And that kind of attitude is destined that no one will laugh at or despise "Gu Qingcheng", the son-in-law who has high hopes for the princess.
Even some dandy who owes his son would not come to Gu Qingcheng and say something.
The most they could do was mutter secretly: Tsk, why not just the pretty little red-faced girl, who confused Zhou Ziqin.
Even the Zhou family, there should be a limit to how much you love your daughter, how could you—
On the surface, everyone is very polite and well-behaved.
Even if he saw a Gu family member who was obviously not in the same class as him, no one had any obvious reaction.
Father Gu was almost nervous to death. During the wedding, he had no idea what was going on.
Gu's mother looked like she was in good condition, but her body was tense the whole time.
He didn't dare to shut up or look around, for fear of making a joke and embarrassing his son.
The three younger brothers and sisters of the Gu family were excited and nervous. They were walking in a hotel banquet hall that they had never dreamed of. They didn't know how to place their legs and feet.
The wedding was grand and the atmosphere at the scene was harmonious.
The groom is handsome and handsome, and the bride is beautiful and shy.
Zhou's father's comrades, leaders, relatives of Zhou Ziqin's maternal family, and old friends all came to celebrate.
After a lively day, the wedding was successfully completed.
When the newlyweds returned to the quadrangle where the Zhou family married, Gu Qingcheng was a little drunk and staggered a little.
"Wei Ma, come quickly!"
Zhou Ziqin supported Gu Qingcheng while greeting the servants at home.
When it comes to servants, Zhou Ziqin feels anxious again.
Her maternal grandfather was a big capitalist, and she had lived in a splendid village since she was a child.
From childhood to adulthood, he has been served by maids, mothers-in-law and various servants.
After liberation, that situation did not change.
So, the servants in the house are no longer slaves, but free.
They did not leave, but continued to stay at home.
Just like in the past.
But, it is not different after all.
Zhou Ziqin didn't dare to say that he was well taken care of in school.
Because is that good or is it exploiting them?
After confirming her relationship with Gu Qingcheng and discussing their future life, Zhou Ziqin endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back.
She carefully asked Gu Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, do I mind if he hires a helper?"
She did not dare to say "dowry population", but instead referred to the domestic servants as hired housekeepers.
When asked about that sentence just now, Zhou Ziqin seemed to explain, "He, he doesn't want to be exploited, but he is not very good at doing housework."
"His parents have been in the army all year round. From childhood to adulthood, Wei Ma took care of him."
"Wei Ma is not a servant to him, but a family member."
"Wei Ma feels sorry for him and doesn't worry about him, so she just thought that she could come to our house to help!"
"He He--"
Xu Fou was too anxious, and Xu Fou was too guilty. Zhou Ziqin's words were a bit confusing.
It’s really no wonder that Zhou Ziqin is cautious, the general environment in Dangdong is not like this.
She may not really have thought about bullying, but when outsiders heard about it, they would think so.
She is about to marry Gu Qingcheng and become a family with him.
She hoped that she could get Gu Qingcheng's understanding and support.
Did she marry at a low price? In addition to the generous dowry, she was very similar to the "house companion" of a wealthy family in ancient times.
Gu Qingcheng really didn't care about the criticism from the outside world.
However, he can exercise the husband's right to let his wife take care of the family affairs without spending money to hire someone else.
Just like some of Zhou Ziqin's legjobs, some of them married into poor families.
Obviously they have a generous dowry and can afford the cost of servants, but neither the husband nor the mother-in-law will make the same mistake.
They even have very honorable excuses: What era are they in?
Is that a new society where everyone is equal?
How can we continue to be landlords and capitalists, exploiting and oppressing as we did in the past?
Zhou Ziqin couldn't help but worry when she thought about what happened to some of her close friends.
Alas, she was indeed attracted by Gu Qingcheng because of his good looks, talent and other reasons, but once the marriage was discussed, it was really not as simple as denying her attraction.
For a moment or two, Zhou Ziqin wanted to regret it.
Gu Qingcheng interrupted her hesitation with a smile, "Xuanqin, he understands what I mean!"
She looked at Zhou Ziqin, "He asked me, do I regard Wei Ma and others as relatives? Rather than treating them as slaves in the old era?"
Zhou Ziqin nodded vigorously, "Of course! Wei Ma was his nanny and raised him since he was a child."
"Uncle Wei is very good. He is the housekeeper of the family, just like his uncle, who takes care of everything for him."
"Oh, that's wrong, Brother Wei Jiadong is very good. He can drive and is very good at kung fu. I usually drive him when I go out."
Is it a family of three, or is it the "dowry" that Zhou Ziqin wants to bring into his new home after downsizing?
"Um!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded and continued to ask: "Do Wei Ma's family give me a job? They provided labor and I also paid them, no?"
Although Zhou Ziqin is nervous and worried, she is not smart.
From the tone of Gu Qingcheng's silence, she seemed to have heard some hints.
She nodded harder, "Of course. If they work, he will definitely pay them."
Fifty yuan a month is higher than the salary of ordinary workers.
"Xuanqin, in today's new society, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low in work."
"They can't discriminate against workers like Wei Ma's family, right?"
When he said that, Gu Qingcheng blinked at Zhou Ziqin.
"Well, it's just like the waiters in a restaurant or the uncles and aunts who sweep the streets. We are all glorious workers, it's just a matter of division of labor."
Gu Qingcheng deliberately defined the relationship between Zhou Ziqin and his servant as a normal labor relationship.
Avoiding so-called exploitation, oppression, etc.
In the first place, it is not a relationship that I am willing to give him, and I provide the money and he provides the service, so there is no need to be online.
Zhou Ziqin's eyes lit up after hearing Gu Qingcheng's words.
Until that moment, Zhou Ziqin was extremely convinced that she really had not chosen the wrong person.
Wei Ma's family of three also successfully entered the young couple's new home.
The Zhou family was really satisfied with Gu Qingcheng's performance.
When she accepted Zhou Ziqin's "dowry", she did not degenerate and enjoy it, but gave Zhou Ziqin enough respect.
She did not deliberately tease a well-born wife because of the so-called man's face or her husband's authority.
Father Zhou, um, please call him Uncle Zhou from now on, he is looking forward to Gu Qingcheng's niece-in-law even more.
The Zhou family is satisfied with Gu Qingcheng, but the Gu family's daughter-in-law, Zhou Ziqin, is satisfied with a sense of "awe".
Especially when they came to the courtyard and saw the so-called dowry, the Gu family finally had the most intuitive feeling-the daughter-in-law (sister-in-law) was indeed the daughter of a wealthy family.
It is said to be a courtyard, but in fact it is not a mansion with two entrances and two exits.
There are two courtyards, each with three main rooms and two east and west wing rooms.
In total, there are about ten rooms.
The Gu family's house in the countryside is not small, but the yard is big and the rooms are not as large as Zhou Ziqin's dowry.
There are many household furnishings in the house that even Gu's mother would not dare to touch.
Not to mention that the daughter-in-law hired three people: Lan Zhiying, who did laundry and cooking, an old man who cared for the home, and a young man who knew how to drive and fight.
Oh my god, my son will be more comfortable during his confinement than a wealthy landlord.
"Son, wouldn't that be a mistake?"
After Gu's mother got over her excitement, she stopped worrying.
Although she has little knowledge, she also knows Dangdong's policies.
Behind her daughter-in-law's back, Gu's mother pulled Gu Qingcheng aside and asked carefully.
Gu Qingcheng curled her lips, "No!"
PS: Thank you for the reward, thank you for your support, thank you!
